ON BEG A GAY MATHEMATICIAN
Mathematics partments Canada have a poor rerd on equy, diversy and clivy says a gay mathematics profsor. Here he speaks about the hopeful chang he se g. * gay in math *
There are only a handful of gay, bisexual or lbian mathematics profsors Canada that I know. I’m a gay mathematician.
ON BEG A GAY MATHEMATICIAN RX
* gay in math *
Up until now, I’ve found the silence on EDI mathematics, pecially on lbian, gay, bisexual, trans issu, afeng. First, to make a broar pot, I start wh some shockg statistics related to gay youth.
Out of 195 untri the world, homosexualy is crimalized 72 of them. Natnal survey, published last year the Journal of Homosexualy and wrten about last year Wired magaze.
Other anizatns foc more broadly STEM, such as LGBT STEM, Natnal Organizatn of Gay and Lbian Scientists and Technil Profsnals and Out Science, Technology, Engeerg, and Mathematics. There’s Alan Turg, of urse, and there are theori that maybe Leonardo Da Vci was gay or that perhaps Florence Nightgale was a lbian, but no one really knows for sure.
ON ‘THAT’S SO GAY’ AND LEARNG MATH
Lookg back I published the blog post On beg a gay mathematician June 2017. Two years later, I've had a generally posive reactn to the post, and I amplified my queer posive msage out to the world through my wrg and advocy. I've been on a few diversy-type panels and teracted, eher person… * gay in math *

Growg up gay ral Ontar durg the 1980s was an isolatg experience culturally, although did give me lots of time to thk and helped foster my creativy. I had two queer iends (one gay the other lbian) and we kept to ourselv and rarely talked about our sexualy wh fay or iends for fear of rejectn. I knew of one gay profsor at the Universy: the late Jam Stewart, the thor of the famo Calcul text.
DESANTIS WARNS THAT MATH MAK CHILDREN GAY
Beg gay often volv so many of the small feats, the small let downs, that be part of our everyday experience. Beg gay isn’t only about who you love.
A MAN HAS ED A MATHEMATIL FORMULA TO PROVE EVERYONE IS GAY — SORT OF
While lecturg do the dience thk ls of me if they know I am gay? It’s a kd of eternal doubt that you rry as a gay person. When I was an assistant profsor, I heard that one of my partmental lleagu was unfortable wh my gayns.
As a gay person, I hope one day the LGBT muny will be fully accepted amia and society, and we n learn not to self-ed ourselv so much. I published the blog post On beg a gay mathematician June 2017. I heard om a reliable source that a Canadian feral bet mister was told by a member of parliament that gays don’t belong the hard scienc.
When you are openly gay, you e out every day, every time you reference your personal life.

Browsg through the Teachg Tolerance archiv, I recently me across an olr blog post on movg beyond the phrase “That’s so gay. When a math problem proved difficult to solve, she often rpond to my explanatns wh “That’s so gay, ” rated om time to time wh other choice remarks. I began to take a firmer stance, explag that g the word gay a disparagg way is disrpectful and hurtful to everyone, and particularly to LGBT people.

TALLAHASSEE (The Borowz Report)—Proposg a sweepg ban on math Florida’s classrooms, Governor Ron DeSantis asserted that “the latt rearch” dit that “math mak children gay.

Reddors certaly seem to agree, wh the post om Alexanr — whose ername is makorrga — attractg around 19, 500 upvot sce was submted to the SudnlyGay subredd. If you have two men a relatnship, you have one gay uple. Therefore, a member of that relatnship is half a gay uple.
